Capturing social media content for prizewinners.

Corporate video for Ontic, an engineering and manufacturing facility in the UK. Ontic employees worldwide will view the video, promoting its new operating initiatives. I organised the location scouting, directed interviews and filmed shots for the B-roll. My footage will be edited with a corresponding video in Los Angeles.

For the second year in a row I received the CCW AMI Grant (£500) to make a film I'd written about documentary ethics. This time I took more of a back-seat shooting-wise, so I could focus more on directing. Again, I took on the role of budgeting, casting, scouting and editing.

Four week shoot in Chile, documenting my sister Susannah life out there, where she has worked for seven years as a Blue Whale researcher. Shooting on location, recording narration back in London and editing together into a split-screen short doc.

Feature length documentary directed by TV Director Gwyneth Horder-Payton (The Walking Dead, Sons of Anarchy). Due to the 'guerilla' nature of the shoot (crew of 10, covering 700 miles on the road and by horseback) I also took on everyday tasks such as cooking, cleaning and taking care of the horses.

Freelance photographer of up-and-coming male models. In charge of all aspects of the shoot – concept, location, lighting, styling and editing.

Interviewing members of the public around London, compiling public opinions and information as research for the NSPCC charity.

I wrote, produced and directed a trilogy of short films about intersecting lives at points of crisis. I received a £500 grant with which to make them and took on the challenge of location scouting, casting and budgeting. I brought on one crew member to shoot and record sound.
